Ludogorets form and stats

Ludogorets has a nice streak going on as they have played 15 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Botev Vratsa defeat 186 days ago. After failing to beat Tsarsko selo here at Ludogorets Arena, Ludogorets has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
